2016, term 1, week 3,

Trying to finish the bloodsport 1 in time with studies and sketches, but failed. I guess I took to much time again on find the idea and planning instead of doing the actual image. I will keep that in mind for the next one. I will still finish it thought. I am still trying to stylize some people from photo.

Sunday 17

Sketching and trying to stylize.

Monday 18

Gesture.

Again, I have some difficulties on identifying the features of the person and caricature them.

African wild dog studies.

Studies for the hunter.

Tuesday 19

Gesture.

Trying to flesh out the composition.

African wild dog studies.

African wild dog color study. I think it's a little to desaturated.

Wednesday 20

Photo studies, stylized.

Sketching from memory, exploring if I am going to stylize him or stay realistic.

Thursday 21

Trying to stylize again.

Friday 22

Design work, it helps me for the illustration.

Color sketch

Sketching.

Ideas for a hat/mask for the little kid in another illustration.

Saturday 23

I had to work on the perspective of some element because I didn't do it at the beginning.

I still need to work on the different elements around them and on his hand position.

So for the next one, I need to ; work the perspective first, sketch the entire pose 

and refine all the elements after the sketch phase.

I will try to finish it in the next days.

Wednesday 06

Thursday 07

Getting back to 'panoramix'.

Friday 08

Still trying, eyes are hard.

Still wip, worked on the brows.

Saturday 09

Trying to stylise Lauren Mayberry from CHVRCHΞS, drawing is hard 

and a random guy that i alread drew for sure.

Pretty much done at this point.

I have a lot of thing to work on for the next one.

I would have to let the brush work a little more 

and trying to make all brush stroke count.

Hair were a little tedious to do but relaxing at the same time,

I would need to find a better way to represent and draw hair on the next one.

Some of the values are a little off and i feel like i lost the focal point.
